Brita was a cop, until an on-duty injury while protecting a child forced her retirement. Now, her days are spent teaching firearms classes, shooting skeet, and doting on her young niece, Jordan. She knows her relationship with Ethan is for life, it’s just a matter of forcing her brain to label it.

The moment Brita got shot is forever seared in Ethan’s memory. She’s the woman he loves, but he’s no dumb Dom. He’s patiently awaiting the day she can finally accept he’s not going anywhere.

Then, an incident during a school outing, where Brita makes a split-second call to protect Jordan and her classmates, changes life forever. Legally and morally, Brita made the right decision. Unfortunately, the man’s rabid fans paint a bulls-eye on Brita via Jordan. When Brita disappears in hope of protecting her family—and her and Ethan’s secret lifestyle—he knows he has to find her. But first, he has to catch the bastards stalking her.

Ben didn’t know his Master and boyfriend would leave him homeless and in the lurch. Throw in identity theft, adding insult to injury. When his best friend and co-worker, Jake, invites him to move into his spare bedroom, it’s the answer to a prayer. Ben knows Jake’s straight, but it doesn’t stop him fantasizing about the handsome Dom.

The last thing Jake wants is take advantage of Ben and come off looking like a douche. That’s why, for now, he keeps his carefully guarded secret—that he’s bi, not straight. Toss in a pair of homophobic parents, and keeping that fact quiet has made his life easier.

But as he realizes Ben is perfect for him, Jake’s forced to confront the realities of life. The choice to be with Ben means facing down his parents and confronting darker, dangerous realities he never encountered before as a “straight” man. But can he admit his feelings before someone else steals Ben’s heart?

This Moody Bastard (Suncoast Society 50, MMF) is now available for pre-order. It’s another Cali, Max, and Sean story and picks up where Happy Spank Patrick’s Day leaves off. (Their first feature book was Crafty Bastards, and they had another installation in Kinko de Mayo.)

Another holiday, another Suncoast Society party. What’s troubling Cali, Sean, and Max? Can a kinky Easter egg hunt snap them out of it? As their friends gather once more, the triad puts on a united front and a happy face. While they remember to count their blessings, will the future finally come into clear focus?

Unicorn photo shoots, rainbow rope, and getting their cat, Baxter, stoned on catnip are all on the agenda. It doesn’t hurt that they finally get to see karma in all its splendid glory giving them the good kind of cosmic payback for a change.

They know they’re lucky. Now all they have to do is keep reminding themselves of that fact.
